Former St. Tammany Parish Coroner Dr. Peter Galvan, who reported to a federal prison in April to serve a sentence for corruption, was back in St. Tammany Parish court on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to state theft charges and was sentenced to three years.

The three-year sentence Galvan received will be served concurrently with his two-year sentence on federal charges. After he serves his two years in the minimum security satellite camp adjacent to the U.S. Federal Penitentiary in Pollock, Louisiana, Galvan will be moved to a state facility to serve his remaining year on the state charges.

Galvan appeared in court Thursday, shackled and wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.

The three-year sentence comes after he pleaded guilty to taking money, which prosecutors said he obtained illegally from jail contracts with the city of Slidell.

"Prosecutors alleged that, instead of servicing the contract on his own time, Galvan sent an unqualified employee of the St. Tammany Coroner's Office to service the inmates, all while that employee was being paid by the coroner's office," the attorney general's office said.

Galvan will be required to reimburse $350,000 to the city of Slidell. Officials said arrangements were made for him to pay $50,000 in the next few days. The remaining $300,000 is due by October 31.

"Our goal all along was restitution for this parish and that's what we accomplished here today," said Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell. "While this matter with Peter Galvan is now closed, our investigation into the St. Tammany Coroner's Office remains ongoing."

Galvan was placed in a federal facility after he pleaded guilty to inappropriately spending public funds and resigned his position in October 2013. In that case, Galvin was sentenced to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay $5,000 in fines and another $193,000 in restitution to the office. Galvan sold his house to cover those costs.

In April, Galvan apologized to the people of St. Tammany Parish for betraying their trust. He said he also can't get back his ruined career and reputation but will do whatever he must to make the parish whole.
